Appellant Uday Yadav filed a rebuttal submission in Matter M12756, arguing NS Power's own admission that a corrected bill was never generated supports a Board order to remove a disputed $292.67 balance.

M12756 · NSPI DRO Appeal - Billing Issues - Uday Yadav

AI summary

In Exhibit Y-5 (filed April 14, 2026), appellant Uday Yadav rebuts Nova Scotia Power Inc's April 14 response (Exhibit Y-4), contending the $292.67 carry-forward balance stems not from a consumption dispute but from NS Power's administrative failure to issue a corrected bill after he provided an actual meter reading in November 2025 and paid $205 (confirmation code 32255774773).
NS Power's own January 30, 2026 email to the DRO acknowledges that "a new bill was not generated for the lower amount," and that the uncorrected November estimated charges consequently appeared as an outstanding balance on the January 2026 bill — an admission Yadav argues is dispositive of the error.
The Dispute Resolution process is central to the matter: DRO Don Farmer issued a Final Written Decision on March 25, 2026 (Confidential Attachment 4, pages 31–32) finding billing appropriate under Board-approved Regulation 5.1, relying on the self-reconciling, cumulative nature of meter reads; Yadav contends the DRO did not address NS Power's specific admission about the missing corrected bill.
Billing Procedures are directly at issue: NS Power's billing history table (Exhibit Y-4) shows estimated reads for September and November 2025 followed by a January 14, 2026 true read, with the $292.67 appearing as an unpaid prior balance carried into the January and March 2026 bills totalling $902.60; Yadav requests the Board order NS Power to confirm in writing the date the $292.67 will be removed.
The appellant also flags that NS Power's April 14 filing (Exhibit Y-4) offers no timeline or commitment to remove the carry-over balance, and requests an alternative remedy directing NS Power to issue a corrected bill confirming the $292.67 has been cleared.
